Omg you ladies made my night tonight. I have lost 82 pounds so far and thought I wasn't doing well because my weight loss has really slowed down a lot. Now I feel like I'm doing ok because I'm right with you guys. Thank you guys for posting how much you've lost. It's really lifted my spirits. I was being so hard on myself. Thinking I wasn't doing well at all. I had my surgery 10/10/12. Thanks again ladies!!!

I'm 4 1/2 months out and tried salad this weekend for the first time and it went great. I actually felt really good after eating it. I love salad too!!! My doctor would prefer you wait until 6 month mark but I just couldn't wait. I tried a Wendy's salad they have a half portion size. Good Luck!!!

I had my surgery on 10/10. My sugar is starting to drop around 3 or 4 pm. I start shaking, get light headed and start to feel like I'm about to pass out sometimes. I start getting really hot too. Am I doing something wrong? My doctors office told me I need to eat less at lunch and eat a snack about 3 pm. Do any of you guys have this?

Thank you guys!!! That really helps!!!

Can anybody tell me how far out from surgery do you have to be before you can have a salad or pasta?

I've been eating fish and its going down just fine. I'm just a month out. I'm not supposed to but I did :-)

It sounds like you might have a structure. They told me it was a possibility it might happen around this time.

I was wondering what you guys were allowed to eat one month out from surgery????

Hey treetoplisa!!! We are surgery buddies!!!! Thank you for you posted. I like what your dietician had to say. It made sense. It's nice to hear. It's also really nice to hear that we are all having the same problem. Water is super hard for me to get down too. I'm also doing the Premiere Protein Shakes. How do you like them??? I've only tried Choc. and vanilla. Have you tried the strawberry ones? I was just wondering if they were any good.

Dr. Barnes did my surgery too!!!! I had mine done on 10/10/12. He's a great surgeon!!!!

Me too!!! Let's definitely stay in touch!!!! I really mean that!!! We can support each other and get to a size zero a little slower than everyone else :-) We didn't make it there this week so maybe by next week lol!!!!

It is frustrating!!! We have drastically reduced our calorie intake so I feel like weI should be a size zero by now lol!!! Just kidding!!! I try not to compare myself either but it is really hard not too. I feel like I'm doing something wrong too!!! I feel like I'm behind. I'm so glad to hear your going through the same thing :-)

I was wondering the same thing. My weight loss has slowed down too. I had my surgery 10/10/12. I'm having such a hard time getting my protein down too. Thanks for asking this question :-)
